✈️New Airworthiness Directive for Airbus A350 Aircraft by FAA
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
Summary
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a determination that certain master minimum equipment list (MMEL) items do not comply with MMEL certification requirements. This AD requires revising the operator's existing FAA-approved minimum equipment list (MEL), as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
